With Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Jabber, users can initiate Cisco Unified MeetingPlace meetings from a Jabber Messenger client. The meeting initiator selects meeting invitees from a list of contacts and invites them to the meeting. Each invitee receives a message (and a pop-up window) inviting them to join the meeting. By clicking on a hyperlink in the invitation message, the invitees can enter the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing console and have the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server dial out to their phones.

Meetings initiated from a Jabber Messenger client use system default settings to determine scheduling parameters, with the following exceptions (which override the value set in the profile of the meeting scheduler):

Password Required is set to No.

Who Can Attend is set to Anyone.
